Thanks for not asking
Every year, without fail, the media hits the streets during heat waves to ask people what they think of them. Here’s what I think: It’s summer and during this time, it tends to get hot. Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t that how it always is? They’ll hit public pools and outdoor patios to get the inside story on what this heat really means to people. You'll hear things like, “Yep, I’m gonna hit the pool” or "thank goodness for patios!” This is not news. This is a season. The same thing happens during winter. “What do you think of the current cold spell? “ Hmmmmmmm? It’s winter. There’s no scoop or inside details to be found. The seasons have changed and now it’s cold. This happens every fucking year. End of story. We don’t need candid interviews so we can better understand the three centimetres of snow that fell last night. So stop it you uninspired bastards. Get back to things that really matter. Like what celebs are sporting cellulite around the pool this year. Now that's news.
